Greetings Imperator of the DarkElves,
I shall let our fellow Kingdoms speak to your proposals. Regarding the High Council, My Liege has paid a large sum of precious gold to secure the 1st spot on the Council due to the advantage it lends. We do not dismiss your request out of hand however. In the interest of goodwill and harmony we would be open to your proposal if we were compensated the 23000 gold we spent. As you of course know, this precious gold could have been spent improving various facets of our Kingdom. Instead we made a sacrifice (in gold AND in orders) to secure this spot while other kingdoms invested in troops, wizards, emissaries and agents. Regarding the High Council vote, should we agree to compensation and pursue your suggestion we will of course abide by the 2 in 10 rules as well as those regarding Denigration and Condemnation. Should no compensation be agreed to (or not delivered as agreed), then obviously we would not be bound to such rules. We would also consider any NO vote to be tantamount to a personal insult to my most magnanimous Liege.
We are also most happy to comply with your request related to population centers, under the provision that you reveal those locations. Should we encounter any "hidden" locations in our lands, we of course must assume less than honorable intentions. As stated earlier, Or Word Is Our Bond and we do solemnly swear not to attack any locations in our lands so long as they are declared (and you allow us a similar token holding in your own lands). Similarly, you would need to advise us of those lands (regions) you claim in order to avoid any misunderstandings. Our spies are very skilled but even they cannot always tell me where you may have substantial influence.
I have of course passed your full notice on to our King and shall respond further once he makes his desires clear to me.
